Journalism in the Age of Pandemics 2.0

Call for Nomination is Closed!

The World Editors Forum Asia Chapter, the regional network in Asia for editors within the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), recognises the evolving specialist knowledge and skills needed at a much broader level to cover science-related issues, including health and future well-being since the Covid-19 pandemic began. It also recognises the need for industry wide initiatives to support media skills development.

We invite editors to nominate candidates in their newsrooms who will benefit from these new skills and knowledge.
